Last week (my previous post) was the first trial run for exploring the process of physically creating this #within project.So I did it. I chose a piece of information and I buried it into a little painting that I sent out to someone. But instead of working from the #within list on my laptop, I had to work with a piece of information that was more in the moment. Still, I couldn't even write out what I was thinking to look at with my own eyes alone in my studio... I didn't want to see the words. The best I could do was allude to the fact that there was something I wasn't talking about. I wrote it out, flipped it over, painted over it, and collaged it into the painting.I withdrew, held back, fell short, let it happen–and it was just as it should have been. I don't know where this is going, and I want the process to tell me as much about what to do as I am telling it to do.It's a natural ebb & flow for me anyway, I tend to move forward, then retreat, over & over again.Today I painted some more. This time, I used pieces of information from the #within document I keep on my laptop. Any visable text is pixellated/blurred below. This painting isn't finished. It may look nothing like this when it's done. But here it is as it was at 3pm on Tuesday.
